QUIZ RECAP

Another scorcher keeping the hot streak alive in NoHo…which worked perfectly as Idle Hour was running a hot streak for the BIGGEST TRIVIA SHOW IN TOWN! That’s right, you question-hungry kiddos. It was another great Tuesday night for King Trivia!

31 teams arrived, swathed in fanciful colors to denote their allegiances and kingdoms, prepared to do battle upon the barrel-shaped field. But only 3 could emerge from our tournament victorious…so who would it be?

While Round One ended with the usual massive tie of teams, Round Two ended with Algorithm and Blues jumping ahead of the pack with a clutch double. Second and Third place were tied up, with teams fighting for their spot on the leaderboard. After stuffing yet another team into the corner, we continued the show. 

Rounds Three and Four went fast and furious, with our leaderboard remaining tight at the top. Snark Squad took over second and held on tight, with Baby Geniuses 3 emerging into 3rd before the half. 

With the heat still beating down, we took a break for a drinking round. For National Ice Cream Sandwich Day, we challenged our teams with history and finance questions about the summertime treat. Emergency Food Birthday Cake Edition, celebrating an actual factual birthday, earned the right to some free shots courtesy of our amazing hosts!

While Round Five went by without much issues (aside from one team miraculously calling the connection after one question), Round Six saw a major shakeup on the leaderboard as Trivia Munn took second and Kingbeez jumped into third! With mere points between the top ten and victory, it was time for a final showdown. 

When the answers finally rolled in and “Final Countdown” ended, it was time to tally the scores and elect a true winner…after a quick Tie Breaker!

Algorithm and Blues took the grand prize, followed by Trivia Munn and Kingbeez! Snark Squad earned the coveted fourth place tin cup, while the rest of the teams left with new memories and bitter rivals. 

Come join us every Tuesday for more trivia action!

80'S MOVIES VOL. 1 THEMED EVENT AT IDLE HOUR RECAP

A balmy Wednesday evening struck the Valley, and it was like stepping back in time…all the way to the 1980s. That’s right, you gnarly NoHo-ians. It’s time for a special King Trivia event at Idle Hour!

With 3 amazing prizes up for grabs, it was no surprise to see most of NoHo turn out in their flashiest slap bracelets and joggers. But who had eaten the right Breakfast Club to give them the Weird Science they’d need to be the Top Gun? Who was ready to bless some rains down in Africa? Only the challenge of trivia could divide the winners from the posers. 

Round One of course left a massive tie at the top, as these were no squares. They knew their general knowledge well enough, but what about kids’ movies?

Round Two witnessed the rise of two trivia titans: Addicted to Love and Brindsay. Would their doubles be enough to keep them from the rest of the pack?

In fact, they would! Following Round Four, Brindsay had stepped into the lead by just a few points! With things heating up so much, we were in desperate need of a drinking game. 

During our Drink Round, we asked a no holds barred question about the 1988 movie Bloodsport! With the best guess by just a hair, Breakfast Club took the free shots! 

Round Five saw the teams growing closer and closer together with only a few points separating our top ten teams. With two rounds to go, this was anybody’s game.

Round Six tasked our teams with combining 1980s movies with their locations; a tall ask, to be sure. When the dust settled, after a few technical issues, we sorted out the new leaders…The Shpeilbergs, Brindsay, and Addicted to Love! With mere points between them, it was time for as TENSE a round as we’ve ever seen!

However, it was the knowledge of 1980s directors that flipped the script entirely for our top tier teams. Brindsay ended up with the big win, followed by Addicted to Love and a fully powered Flux Capacitors!

QUIZ RECAP

A scorcher of a Tuesday brought out the best teams in NoHo to our barrel-shaped paradise for an incredible night of Trivia and refreshing beverages. That’s right, it’s KING TRIVIA time! 26 teams arrived in the gridiron for a truly monumental event. But only three could take home the prize, so it was time to get down to quizness. 

Round One saw a massive tie of nearly ten teams, and many more that simply failed to capitalize on perfect scores. Round Two, however, saw an immediate shift in the leaderboard. Quiz in Your Face took the top spot, followed by Renegades of the Zeitgeist and Snark Squad. 

Round Three took our guests by surprise, as no one expects either the Spanish Inquisition or a Math Quiz! While scores did suffer, the leaderboard didn’t change much for our intrepid test takers. 

Our Drinking Round challenged the teams to determine information about National Bagel Day. With the closest guess by a county mile, Gonk Chomp won the free shots. With our teams feeling properly lubricated, it was time to separate winners from losers in the final half of the show. 

With the teams tightly locked, we ran through our final rounds in a fury. Round Five saw Baby Geniuses 3 advancing up to 4th place, only a point away from stealing the spot. Round Six saw the teams grow ever closer. Nearly every team had a chance to reach the leaderboard!

As the smoke cleared, a new champion emerged from the rubble. Algorithm and Blues took the top spot, Quiz on Your Face took second, and Renegades of the Zeitgeist had third. 

Come on down to Idle Hour every Tuesday for more King Trivia!
